Practicing Lean in Sustainable Construction to Achieve Time Reduction

Implementing new management philosophy in construction became an approach for construction players in achieving optimum output of the process. The practice of eliminating non-value added in the construction process flow is important in creating the elements of time reduction. Therefore, lean is the best approach as a management philosophy to be adopted in construction process flow because of the stabilizing and pulling factors towards construction time reduction. There are few cases being observed and non-value added activities being analysed accordingly to lean approach. From the questionnaire survey, factors of waiting, overproduction and double handling became the most prolongation of the construction time that contributes to delay. The analysis proof that leans has the factor of time reduction and contributes to rapid construction. The construction process flow became stable and the minimum cost being pulled in the construction cycle.
